Import dutyOK
- About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
- No tariff line names this chemical, so we worked out its likely heading from its structure: 2930, organo-sulphur compounds (sulphur bonded to carbon).
- All lines under heading 2930 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
- No 8-digit line under heading 2930 names it, so it falls under one of its "Other" lines: 2930 20 90 (Thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates › Other); 2930 90 99 (Other › Other). The other 22 lines are for named chemicals; which "Other" line applies depends on the exact structure.
